Wasatch Micro Cap Value Strategy stated the following regarding BigCommerce Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:BIGC) in its first quarter 2024 investor letter:

"BigCommerce Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:BIGC) was also a detractor. The company provides software that powers online retail sites. BigCommerce has shifted its focus to large enterprise accounts because management believes these accounts offer the greatest opportunity for long-term growth. We like this shift and think the associated workforce reductions will allow the company to achieve profitability more quickly. Additionally, we believe BigCommerce’s best-of-breed solution for enterprise-scale e-commerce places the company in a strong competitive position, especially as online retailers broaden their reach. During the first quarter, however, the stock was down because BigCommerce forecasted 2024 revenue growth that fell short of expectations. We think the company was too conservative in its revenue guidance as it attempted to underpromise with the goal of eventually overdelivering."
